Have you been injured due to a bicycle accident?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 51,000
bicyclists were injured in traffic accidents in 2009 while 630 died in
such accidents the same year. In 2008, alcohol was a factor for either
the cyclist or motorist in 37 percent of bicycle fatalities. Florida was
the third leading state in bicycle fatalities in 2008, behind California
and Texas with a total of 125 bicycle deaths. Because of the growing popularity
of bicycling as a sport, it seems inevitable that more and more injuries
and deaths from bicycle accidents may occur.
